The correct option is B Bakhtiyar Khilji
Bhaktiyar Khilji was the military general of Qutub-ud-Din Aibak. His career took a new turn when he annexed Bihar in 1203. In the same year, he took his forces into Bengal. He conquered the Sena king Lakshman Sen and intruded into much of the Bengal. These conquests earned him a great fame in the Delhi Sultanate.
